Drum Table Reveal

Hey everyone!

So remember my secret project I was ECSTATIC about? Well that completely fell through :(. I had found a dresser at a thrift store that I wanted to completely redo for only $40!, but when I went to go pick it up, it had a sold sign on it. See picture below.

Oh well, I guess it just wasn't meant to be. Anyways I ended up finding this cute drum table (that's what my mom calls it) for only $10!! Being my first furniture transformation I learned a lot. Here are before and after shots of the table.

Process: 

1. Sanded with electric sander. 

2. Spray painted primer, two cans.

3. Spray painted two coats. 

4. Brush painted top of table.

5. Replaced hardware. 

What I learned. 

1. Be patient between coats!

2. A "pinkish" undertone means that the stain is bleeding through and more primer is needed. 

3. Practice means perfect. 

4. Sanding is your friend.

5. I love that this table only cost me $10, and around $30 to completely redo, with a grand total of $40!

So what do you think about my very first furniture transformation??
